I highly doubt most are into engineering or computers. However, most everyone has access to computers, and works on one everyday, hence the irony. I am a loan officer with a bank.
Bye for now.

I are engineer and an architect. Or atleast that what I went to college for.
Construction Management is the job.
There certainly are a lot of techie people. Part of that I believe is simply because there are so many techie people in the general population. Engineers and IT is a HUGE group.

edited for spelling. Techy or techie??

Computer geek here, but my climbing buddies are a cop, a theater geek, clergy, a biologist, a writer, a gym teacher, a physician's assistant, a forester, military personel, and a geologist.

Chemical Engineer working in Aerospace.
As to why so many engineers, I don't know but everyone I climb with is an engineer, practically.
Problem solving is good, plus a chance to get away from the job and see the wilderness etcetc. Of course that should work for any discipline. hmmm

I am majoring in Geology. It was between this and Architectural/Structural Engineering. My girlfriend, who climbs, is a petroleum engineer. I have also always enjoyed computers.

Securities Fraud Investigator, degrees in Econ and in PolSci. However I started in ChemEng.
I climb with dudes, doctors, architects, engineers, biologists and car mechanics. They are all smart enough to solve problems, at least the bouldering kind.
I used to fence and found it to be more academcially elite than any other sport. It was equally balanced between humanities and sciences but everyone was exceptionally smart. The percentage of uber-smart people well exceeded what I have seen the the climbing univserse.

One term left for my B.S. in Geology. Why you may ask?
Because Geologists...
-do it on the rocks, are always on the lookout for "cleavage", will date anything, have "normal faults", are gneiss, tuff and a little "wacke".
Added plus: you are allowed to answer "uplifts, thrusts, and overturned beds are common signs of an orogeny" on an exam and not lose points.
Hey, if you don't love Geology ...
Upper Jurassic!!

Aircraft Mechanic says: "The engineers screwed us again!!":evil: As I try to install hi-lok fasteners using double back tape on the end of my left index finger arm jammed through a lightening hole in a rib and one through a spar on an MD-11 elevator!!

One of the most interesting threads I've seen in a while.
Ex-software engineer, now in business school. Wishing I hadn't left.
